A Year Of Journaling With The Violets - Week 47

Over the next 52 weeks, we'll use journaling as a tool for deep self-discovery—a chance to reflect, embrace, and shape your future with honesty and without fear. Each week a new Oracle card provides a prompt to guide you, but remember, this is your journey. There are no rules. Take what resonates and leave the rest. Whether you prefer pen and paper or a digital format, scripting, doodling, or writing, the key is to engage and enjoy the process.

We'll be using Yanik Silver's "The Cosmic Journey Oracle."

This week's card: #18 "Listen. In Stillness You Meet Your True Self."

Background music by my friend, the incredible Blossom Violet, was recorded LIVE on January 7, 2025. Be sure to follow her for more beautiful piano tracks! I've also included her music in my journaling playlists, which you can find here on my teacher's profile, at the bottom of the "Home" tab.

And please join us in the Insight Timer Group: ASK YOUR GUIDES -- guided, grounded, and always growing.

What a delightful difference journalling with the actual cards. And so timely too as it’s a New Moon today and it’s a day I decided that I really need to take a Happy Hiatus. 10 years producing content for the Insight Timer app and 1 year of constant creation of my video courses off app has been a slog. The current course I am working on is not flowing as the others have. Perhaps I’m tired or probably it’s not quite the right time for its release so tools are being put down today until the New Year and what will happen instead has the potential to be much more fruitful. My contract with my current non-ideal email provider is coming to an end - I was advised badly by someone I trusted - and I have found a much better supplier that integrates seamlessly with my online school - that migration can start from today (in thinking only, as there is plenty of time for action). In the meantime, something has emerged that has never been seen in the history of humanity (if not the cosmos). This needs time to germinate and flower as it changes everything. Journalling like this has become weekly but now I need to get back to doing it daily - thanks for the pointer to the deck. I so need to sit and listen but have realised my daily dog walks in nature do give me that silence - will watch for the signs and thoughts that come out of the blue.

It’s a hard thing to do. It would also require one to be in a place where you know there would be silence. Almost always my husband is here talking on his speaker phone. I might have to set aside a time right after work before he gets home. I’m going to try the 18 minutes tomorrow.

Loved the practice that was suggested and how the first word is the answer. Thank you 💖
